- We make an effort not to accept townhome, HOA, or condo property association management
assignments unless we have enough trained and certified managers to successfully carry out our duties.
- One of the biggest problems in townhouse and
townhome association management is to assure that the managing agent understands the
expectations of the Board of Directors of the ass ociation. Agents are not always specific concerning the services they are to
provide within the agreement. J & N Realty, Inc.'s agreements lay out clear guidelines for all the aspects
of management, operation, and maintenance of townhouse, townhome, and condo communities.
- Defined tasks and responsibilities will contribute to the overall successful management of any
townhome association property. It is important to evaluate results and not procedures. A proposed contract from
a property management company that is not sufficient to meet the needs of the condominium or townhome community
and its future growth most likely not meet the requirements of Civil Code Section 1365. This may jeopardize the
fiscal health of both the property and the unit owners and may create potential personal liability to the Board
of Directors.
- J
& N Realty, Inc. is highly experienced and trained in the methods of creating order and stability where
chaos has been the status quo -
- Our townhome association property managers have consistently been able to solve complex
maintenance and repair issues, stubborn and large delinquency problems considered to be uncollectible, serious and
ongoing operating rules violations, and any other ever-present matters that plague the great majority of real
properties, homeowner association and condominium projects. Since J & N Realty, Inc. has an experienced general
contractor and a reserve analyst on board, we are able to solve complex maintenance and repair issues that trouble
many townhome association property.
MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
- J & N Realty, Inc.'s Townhome
Managers:
1. Perpetual Property Maintenance Functions
- Are responsible to assure that the common and exclusive use common areas and elements of the
buildings, appurtenances and grounds, and the property improvements are maintained according to acceptable
standards. This includes but not limited to structural condition, cleaning, painting, decorating, plumbing and
electrical repair, carpentry, plastering, and other such normal housekeeping, maintenance, and repair work as may
be necessary.
- Yearly prepare a maintenance, repair, and capital improvements plan and submit it to the
Board. The plan will be used to identify each of the items characterized as a perpetual property maintenance
function.
2. Emergency Maintenance Management Functions
- Maintain a 24-hour, 7-day-per-week emergency call program for vital support systems on the property.
"Emergencies" are defined as fire, water leaks, sewage backup, electrical outage, persons trapped in elevators, and
any other causes where immediate maintenance action is necessary to prevent personal injury or property damage.
3. Building Operations
- Manage and monitor all integral operations of a townhome, HOA, or condo association facility which have a daily
impact upon the owners and residents of the community.
Utility Shutoff Locations Map
If an
earthquake ruptures a water pipe at your condominium property, will you be able to find the valve for the pipe
and shut it off before it causes a flood? Do you know how to cut
electrical power to a building if a tree falls on the wires leading in from the street? Knowing how to shut off water, gas, and electricity to your common interest
development can help prevent serious damage in an emergency.
To
prevent your HOA property’s damaged utilities from increasing disaster damage, create a map showing exactly
where to find the utility shut-off valves and tools necessary to operate them. Create a Utility Shutoff Location Chart that describes exactly how to find and
operate the shut-offs.
Insurance Agent Qualification
Form
Buying
insurance for your condominium property and understanding insurance policies can be complicated. Most townhouse and townhome property managers count on their HOA insurance
agent for advice and for help to customize an insurance program that meets the needs of the homeowners
association.
The best
way to pick an insurance agent is to ask the right question at the beginning of the selection
process. Focus on the insurance agent’s experience in the community
association industry, the services he can provide, and whether the HOA will be paying a fair
premium.
To ask
the right questions, send prospective insurance agents a qualification form. In the cover letter, describe the condominium property and explain the
management is considering hiring a new insurance agent. Ask the
agent to fill out the form.
Verification of HOA Member’s Emotional
Support Animal Request
In
additional to sending a letter acknowledging receipt of a condominium property member’s request for an emotional
support animal, it is advisable to included and Emotional Support Animal Request Verification Form, which the
HOA member can give to his healthcare provider. In the letter
accompanying the form, tell the condo member to sign the Member release portion of the form and then to have his
healthcare provider complete the rest of it and return it directly to the community association.
The form
will enable to healthcare provider to confirm the homeowners association member’s disability and need for the
animal by asking the provider whether in the provider’s professional opinion: (1) the HOA member is disabled;
(2) the member needs the animal to have an equal opportunity to use and enjoy the property; and (3) whether the
provider would be willing to testify in any proceeding related to the member’s need for an
animal.
Response to Member’s Emotional Support
Animal Request
You
probably know that your condominium property must grant a disabled member’s request to keep a service animal,
such as Seeing Eye dog, to help the HOA member with his disability, even if your homeowners association bans
pets or bans the type of pet the member wants to keep. However,
according the federal fair housing law, you may have to grant some disabled members’ request to keep an animal
even if the animal has no training at all relevant to the condo members’ disability. These animals are called “emotional support animals” or “companion
animals.” Although federal law does not require you to grant every
emotional support animal request, you will need to be able to weed out improper requests from legitimate
requests.
A letter
should be sent to the disabled HOA member, acknowledging the receipt of his request to keep an emotional support
animal. The latter should state the homeowners association’s policy
on reasonable accommodation requests and should ask the member to have a healthcare provider complete and return
an enclosed Emotional Support Animal Request Verification form and should tell the member that the HOA will
respond to his request within 15 business days of receiving the completed form from the condominium member’s
healthcare provider.
Members Get Contractor’s Quality Assurance
Before
most homeowners associations hire contractors, they require them to prove that they are licensed, insured, and
otherwise qualified to work in the property. What about when one of
your members hires a contractor to do work in his unit, and the contractor gets injured or another member is
injured by the contractor’s shoddy work? Even if the HOA’s
liability insurance covers the loss, the community still suffers.
To
protect the condominium property from claims, require your members to get from any contractor they hire a signed
“quality assurance” agreement before that contractor may start work on the unit. Most homeowners associations require members to get the approval of the board
before doing any significant work in their units. So when HOA
members seek that approval, you can tell them that in order to get it, they must first get the agreement signed
to protect the condominium property from liability when a member hires a contractor to do work on his
unit.
The
agreement should require the contractor to be properly licensed; have all the necessary permits and approvals
before beginning work; be properly insured and furnish copies of the insurance policy; the contractor’s
insurance is primary and that the contractor will indemnify the HOA against any damage.
Community Bulletin Board
A
homeowners association may use bulletin boards to post meeting agendas, reminders about upcoming events and
renovations, and other noteworthy information for HOA members.
Letting members post on bulletin board can cause problems. For
example, what if the material a member chooses to post is objectionable to others? Or what if members remove other people’s postings to put up their
own? One way to avoid problems is to set rules that members must
follow to be able to hand postings on a condominium property bulletin board.
The
rules ban the posting that may violate fair housing law; posting related to illegal or illegitimate activity;
profane or pornographic materials. On an administrative level, the
board of directors should be required to approve postings; limit the length of time postings can stay up; limit
who is allowed to put up and remove postings; and limit the size of postings.
Common Areas
Common
areas play a major role in a homeowners association’s success. They
are the neighborhood that all the members share and that visitors and prospective buyers see
first. However, your members may be causing problems in your
common areas inadvertently or otherwise; for example, leaving garbage out, storing personal property, and so
on. You do not want members making nuisances of themselves in
you common areas or leaving their belongings in them. Careful
development of common area rules reminds members that the common areas are part of the condominium property,
and that they are responsible for their actions there, as well as in their own homes.
A letter
should be sent to owners. The letter would bar members from leaving
garbage, refuse, or personal property in common areas. You would be
given the right to remove anything that members leave in common areas and the authority to charge members for
storing items that you remove. It would also say that members may
not create nuisance in common areas. Finally, it would state that
members bear “joint liability” for violations of these rules.
